How do I change skype user?

Post by sunwatt »

I'm sending a Dell Mini 9 netbook running LMDE to my grand daughter.

I've installed skype and tested it using my username and password.

All is well with that, I need to know how to remove my info so that when she starts skype for the 1st time the log in window will be blank.

She is not a skype user so the link needs to be visible so she can click that and sign up with skype.

Thanks as always!

Jim

In your home folder, open .Skype, and in that folder there is another folder with your username. Delete that, and Skype should forget about you. However, a better solution is to add your granddaughter as another user, with admin privileges, and when she logs in, everything should be new.

I've never actually done this with Skype, but the config files should all be in your home, and other home folders should have no configuration files for Skype or anything else.
